Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

Yes, I am been a bit slack.  While I have been making cards and quilting, I have not got to the computer to add to my blog.  I find that preparing this information on the Ipad is not easy anymore.  That is my only excuse and I will stick to it.

This first card was made as a practice run.  I used a retired Designer Series Paper called Peaceful Poppies and a Peaceful Poppies Element.  I would like to pat myself on my back and say, I am pretty proud of this one.  It could have something to do with the colour red, though.  I am bit of a fan of Red.

These next cards are all using the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper with coordinating 2020-2021 In Colour Collections.  These new colours are absolutely fantastic. 

When I created these last cards I try to use only current stock. However I pulled a clanger. I thought the embossing folder, 3D Stone, was current, but it seems that was in this years Sale-a-bration

Catalogue.  Another embossing folder you could use might be the Subtle 3D which is in the Annual Catalogue. 

When I created these cards I used the new Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper with the new  2020-2022 In Colours, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight Card stock. I also used Whisper White Card stock and matching ribbon for the different colours. I also used the Ornate Style Dies and a little flower from Viried Vases, a retired stamp.    

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos.  Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards.  If you are a bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote. 

The current Annual Catalogue is available on this blog.  If you would like a Catalogue posted to you, it will cost $9-00.  That can be deducted from the next order.

Scallop Tag Punch

Hi everyone ,

Recently my ‘Bestie’ turned 70 years old.   I needed to find something special for her.  It couldn't be anything ordinary.  My mum also makes   cards.   While we  talk on the phone we often start talking cards and usually go to Pintrest together.  Mum will say, ‘can you try this for me, or this one.’  We follow each other on Pintrest so I can see what Mum saves etc. This card using the scalloped Tag Punch was one of those cards that Mum wanted me to try.  I think it is great, she is challenging me.

So I went searching for some instructions.  I am a visual person and like to see things made.  Mum is 91, so she like me to create a template, send it to her and we talk it through. Cayleigh May’s YouTube helped me with this one.  This card is a lot easier than it looks. 

Anyway, the card following is my example.  Pretty Poppies Designer Series Paper is so beautiful and makes this scallop fold card stunning, I think. 

I used Whisper White and Poppy Parade Card stock.   I also used the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.  I needed a small ‘70’ so I used a die I bought from Kaiser many years ago. 

I hope you like this card.  I love it.  My ‘Bestie’ loved it too.  

All of the products used in this card can be purchased from Stampin Up. If you live in Australia and you would like to place an order over $250-00 (before shipping) you will receive 10% in Stampin Up Rewards.  Click here to place your order.
